A ten-minute daily safety review for supervisors on construction sites
For subcontractors and safety managers: a short daily routine for supervisors to review new concerns, open actions, today's pre-task plans and expiring permits before work gets busy.

Why a daily review
For your subcontractor crews, use this guidance with the current work phase, trade responsibilities and approved procedures in view. Keep your safety manager involved in record reviews and follow-up. This guidance supports record keeping and coordination, not technical authorization to carry out the work.
Supervisors are pulled in many directions. A fixed, short review at the start of the day makes sure safety items are seen before the first urgent call.
What to look at
Use the same order each day.
- New safety concerns since yesterday
- Actions due today or overdue
- Pre-task plans needed for today's work
- Permits starting or expiring
- Equipment marked out of service
Keep it short
The review is for triage, not for solving everything. Assign owners and move on. Deeper issues get their own time.
The takeaway
Ten minutes, the same order every day, and clear owners for anything found.
